man what How is this headline passive (emphasis mine): The Transportation Department on Friday CANCELED $679 million in federal funding for a dozen offshore wind projects, the LATEST ATTACK by the Trump administration on the reeling U.S. offshore wind industry.
If it said something like "$679 million in federal funding for wind farms was removed", that would be passive voice. Like I'm as critical of PBS and NPR's conciliatory tone as anyone but this doesn't seem like a great example of it
